NEVER Finished when it comes to upgrading............And I like it!!!!!

Can't say I know much about this player. I definitely want to see new blood across the board at RB.

What we had was so stale, more for a lack of trying. I am ok with Myles Gaskin being my No.3 RB but I'd rather try and upgrade him as well and just move on.
 
The only RB currently on the roster that isn't on the last or only year of their contract is Edmonds, and the way his contract is set up unless he completely balls out he's probably gone next year as well. It would save the team somewhere around $6 million and only be about about $600k in dead money. So I think there's a very good chance we add an RB in the draft.

As for Gaskin, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he led the team in rushing this season. For everything we did to improve our team this year, I'm still not really impressed by our RB's. I think Gaskin will be a good fit in MMD's offense and he should put up decent numbers for someone that will almost definitely be part of a committee.
 
I like Gaskins, while he's not an elite back he works his butt off on the field and has shown great moments (remember the Raiders game in 2020). I'd definitely keep him in the RBC system but always good to bring in new talent.

I disagree with you quite a bit on this, I think Gaskin is all but guaranteed to be a cut candidate. Chase Edmunds and Raheem Mostert are really great fits for this offense. Gaskin while good in the passing game, has almost no contact balance, questionable vision at times, is pretty slow for a back his size and his pass blocking seemed poor last year. Two waiver wire adds in Phillip Lindsay and Duke Johnson seemed to outperform him. Similar to the backs in SF, McDaniel and Shanahan seem to covet guys that have blazing speed. I'm hoping for Pierre Strong or Ty Chandler at 125 to replace Gaskin. I guess we'll see though.

Though I agree Gaskin is not as horrible as some may think. have to disagree here, Mostert is a very good back that has injury concerns, but if he stays healthy, he is tough to control from running wild.

Edmonds may not be a threat to take it to the house every time he touches the ball, but what he is, is consistent getting positive yardage...I love consistent.

Ahmed brings the same type of ability and speed of Gaskin for cheaper money.

Doaks is the Wildcard where he could still figure into being our big back we need desperately.

It will be tough for Gaskin to get enough touches to have the most yards even if he stays.
 
I was a Gaskin & Ahmed hopeful going into last draft that we didn’t need to take a RB early.

Considering how Duke and Lindsay performed better off the street than our guys… ya our RB room needs to be completely turned over.
 
once again, we're allowed to meet with 30 players before the draft....we have 4 picks so don’t read too much into it.......we're doing the work and I'm sure we'll meet with players from every position.

I don’t want anymore RB signings unless it’s Dameon Pierce rookie contract

I think Pierce is not fast enough for this coaching staff, and that Gaskin makes the team this year. Duke and Lindsay had the advantage of sitting while the rest of the leauge got beat up from playing week to week.
